RUNAW

Yesterday forenoon quite disastrous rum
away occurred on East Douglas avenue,
caused as is usually the case by leaving
team standing in the street unhitched.
A driver of lumber wagon drove up to the
Santa Fe freight yard and commenced un-
loading lumber from a car on the south side
Of the avenue and near the roller mill. He
had scarcely stepped inside of the car than
the team, rather wild scarey looking animals
took fright and ran down the avenue. Near
the crossing of Fourth avenue they collided
with another wagon breaking two wheels.
They continued their flight down the avenue
and when near Emporia they ran into another
wagon in which we're man and boy. SO
excited were the runaways that the large
black horse leaped into the rear OF the bed
Both the man and the boy were thrown out
over the front; the boy under the horses
heels. Here the runaways were recaptured
and the boy rescued from his perilcus posi-
| ton with it is said three Of his ribs broken
it seemed almost miracle that he escaped
with his life Both wagons were wrecked
and the horses more or less injured.

PASSENGER ROBBED.

The excursion to Trinidad returned yester-
day morning. The party bring back some
"hold up" news Near o'clock yesterday
morning some one went through the train
cutting open several pockets, but secured
money from only one man, Mr.. Caples, who
joined the excursion at Wellington, but who
is an Ohio gentleman on a western tour. In
book in an inside vest pocket he had $500.
The vest was cut and book and money taken.
In an outside pocket was some change
amounting to Sc. That was also taken,
making in all $500 secured from Mr.. Capler.
The gentleman had been asleep about an
hour, and on waking found he had lost his
money. The gang that manipulated the
affair are credited with being rather cute.
Several gentleman were awake at the time,
but no one saw any suspicious actions
When the fact became known that some
one had went through the train general
search was instituted hoping by so doing the
guilty party or parties could be learned.
Each passenger was examined, but the money
was not found. 1t is believed that the mer
doing the work left the train as soon as il
was completed.

THE WARM WEATHER.

Yesterday evening about half past six
o'clock when everybody was nearly over
come by the heat, Jim Taylor was seen to
take chair just off the side walk in front Of
Herrig's cigar store He rested his two hun
dred and twenty pounds averdupois in it,
and throwing back his broad shoulders began
to hollow hoky -poky at the top OF his voice.
This unusual proceeding attracted a large
crowd on the side walk. Some said, the man
must be drunk, but rememberir G that this is
a prohibition town they concluded that the
heat must have affected Jim's mind. Some
one said see how red his face is. All this
time Jim kept screaming hoky -poky, John
Herrig famed him and Post sprinkled some
ice water on bis face, when he became calm
and the reporter learned that some one in a
notion stand near by had been calling atten-
ton to his goods by crying hoky peky and
Jim had become annoyed and offended. He
was giving the fellow some of his own med
icine

THE ..INDIANs" WIN
The First CT the Three Games With the State
League Champions.

The Fort Smith Indians" the champions
of the Southwestern League, and the WicLi-
tas, champions of the Kansas State League,
played the first of three games to be played by
them in this city, yesterday afternoon. The
Indians played agood game of ball and by
lucky hits punched in the fourth inning max
ing three runs and succeeded in winning the
game by score of four to two.
Smiley, for the home team, pitched a good
game and got good support all around,
especially by Schulze behind the bat, who
played without an error of any kind. For a
slight catcher Schulze can stand lots of work
as he caught three days in succession at Wei
lington this week.
The reason that the game was lost was
that the Fort Smiths hit Smiley little more
freely and with better luck than the Wichi-
tas did Freeman, who isa very fine pitcher.
His support was fair behind the bat and in
the field. None of their four errors cost
anything as one of the Wichitas runs was
earned
At one time in the game things got very
interesting, when in the ninth inning with
two men out, Haber got a
base on ball, stole second and went to third
on the safe hit to right center by Rose. Rose
stole second and as Hemp went to the bat
everybody hoped he would line one out as he
had done in the fifth which broughtin Haber.
Such hit at this time would tie the score
He struck the ball, but it was fly captured
by Mundinger and the game was ended. The
appended score shows that the Wnhitas were
not outplayed but had poor luck, which it is
hoped will be in their favor today and TO-
morrow.

WESTERN KANSAS.

A gentleman who has just arrived In the
city from the west, stated at the Manhattan
hotel last evening that the whole Of that por-
ton of western Kansas known as the Wa
keeney land district is very much excited
on the proposed removal OF the United States
land office for that district. Rush, Ness,
Lane. Scott and Wichita counties are all ex-
cited and interested in removal to more
central location, as it appears that the pres
ent location is at the extreme north side OF
the district. causing great deal of dissatis-
faction to settlers
Petitions are being freely circulated IN the
above named counties and great deal OF
interest is being manifested in agisating the
removal to some central location, no matter
which town may secure the prize

Last evening Mr.. Herman, Of the West
End drug store, and his clerk, Mr.. j. E.
Sheppard, were in the rear of the store max
ing tinctures. While drawing alcohol from
barrel the fluid became ignited from q
lamp in the ROOM The barrel was soon IN
flames and the clothing of both the men on
fire. They ran screaming through the from
of the store and threw themselves into gut
ter before the building. Several men hear
ing the report of the explosion and seeing
the men in flames run from the building
rushed to their rescue, some endeavorlng &c
put out the burning clothing and others
turned on the fire alarm.
The flames were spreading rapidly; the
whole of the rear room was on fire and
volumes of smoke was rolling out in front
over the middle partition. Mr.. Sheppard
having had the fire upon his own person ex
tineuished, and almost crazed by the intense
pain madly cried for Mr.. Herman. He
wanted to run into the burning building &c
carry him out. 1t was with the greatest
difficulty that he could be restrained from
his purpose, or be convinced that the pro
prietor was safe and less injured than him
self
In the meanwhile large crowd had gath
cred, and the hose companies came dashng &c
| the rescue: the gray horses of No. pulled
their cart first upon the scene, and almost
Immediately came the dashing bays OF No. l.
Water was soon playing upon the fiames,a no
the noble fire laddies valiantly at work. The
rear room was first drenched, and then the
hose played upon the room from the front
The fire had quite a Roadway and the crowd
held their breath as they saw it shooting
along the ceiling Soon, however, it is di-
minishiDg, the smoke clears away, and the
fire is extinguished.
Within the room was ruin, the. fine drug
store was a wreck; the walls were blackened
and smoking, the partition burnt
and charred, the large windows In front
cracked from the extreme heat within, the
shelves and bottles were broken and the con-
tents were ruined. Yet the building was
saved, and well it was for had the fire gotten
more of Roadway it would have been diff
cult TO have saved the whole block from
destruction.
Mr. Herman places his loss at about s., 800,
stock insured through Taylor, Hall & Co. for
81, 500.
MANY persons were remarking at the
extreme danger to which the mem
bers of the fire company ex
posed themselves by not turning off the
electric light in the room. for the insulation
most likely being burnt off by the fire they
were exposed to the effect of the strong and
deadly current.
When the hose cart was coming down
Douglas avenue a carriage was standing on
the south side at the crossing of Market; the
horse backed slightly and into another car
riage breaking off the hind wheel. In the
rear seat of the carriage was two ladies each
with child upon her lap; some gentlemen
standing by held the team until they became
quieted and this prevented quite serious &C
cident.
A wagon was ditched on East Douglas in
endeavoring to get out of the way of No. 2.
Mr.. Sheppard was quite badly hurt about
the body, more especially on the left hip.
His injuries, while painful, are not thought

GRoUNDERS.
Whistler did not get the hang of Freeman's
delivery yesterday, but look cut for today
and tomorrow.
Bennett the new catcher is expected to
catch Wiley today. He caught here last
Monday for Springfield and is good back
stop, splendid thrower to bases and a batter.
Mussey new infielder and hard hitter
from st. Louis is expected today.
Walter Baldwin the Wichita new pitcher
will be in tonight and play tomorrow's game
He is brother of Kid Baldwin, the well
known pitcher, and is said to be his dupli-
cate in the box.
Butler played very pretty short stop and
can "smash the ball right in the nose"
The umpire should take position so as to
leave no question about the fairness of bat
ted ball.
Wiley is G ding to pitch today's game from
the Indians" Go early and get seat in
the grand stand as game will be called at
$3.50 each day. Look out for the two
hottest games of the season,
today ana tomorrow. Inc InulanS nave Two
more good batteries left for our team to
tackle, but they will get raped little
harder than the one today.
Don't forget that the Wellington sluggers
play here on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day, June 81, SO and 90 of this week. They
are the first club in the State League to win
two out of three from the Champions, and
they are good ball players.

ting such good clubs to play here, and they
promise more in the near future. Arrange
] ments are now being perfected for the Spring.
fields to play here again on next Saturday
and Sunday, June % and &c, when two ex-
citing games will be played.
But the fun will be when the Kansas City
team comes down here as they are negotiat-
ing to do. on Friday and Saturday, July
and 9. They will bring down their strongest
teams, for the express purpose of wiping W
the diamond with her forward little sister
for prssumlng to put on airs with the town
on the Big Muddy. They will bring Dooms
Leavenworth's great pitcher, for whose re
lease Kansas City paid 800 to Leavenworth
Schultz caught Dooms last year at Edwards
vile, Illinois, and they were considered thu
best young battery in the country.
| Don't forget the names of the clubs or thu
dates above mentioned.
Hereafter whenever you see the base bal
flag flung to the breeze across Main at Doug
las avenue, you can know that there is I
game that afternoon 1t is a sure thing ant
will always go up on base ball dates at home

Arrangements Made Yesterday for . L0nG
Felt Need-Medical Treatment Free to
the Poor.

For some months the question of a free dis
pensary in the city has been under contem-
plation. The idea originated with some of
the leading people of the city and it soon be
came evident that it was popular one. All
who were introduced to the idea in but q
moment conceded that it would be wise and
humane to foster just such an undertaking.
The idea was to give medical treatment free
to all who were known to be unable to pay
for the same. The fact that all cities OF the
Importance of Wichita maintained free dis
pensary was another no small pointer for de
Gliding the question in the affirmative.
Yesterday definite line Of action was de
termined upon. A room on North Market
street, 245 was secured. 1t Is opposite the
city building and very
comfortable and suitable room for the pur-
pose.
A board Of directors for the dispensary
was elected with the following result: Mes
DANES Mary C. Todd, Col. H. w. Lewis, A.
A. Packer, H. G. Toler and W. P. Shields.
A physician will be at the room every day
between 10 o'clock in the morning and noon
excepting Sundays and will treat all who
are entitled to aid free Of charge. Anyone
knowing of such parties who are in need OF a
physician are respectfully asked to inform
them of the free dispensary. The institution
will be known as the Wichita Free Dispen
Sary
